The Devil To Pay

Being an Investigator for the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary has taken its toll on Vivian Ellis' life, both personal and professional. Her career and marriage both falling apart, she's ready to call it quits.

But when Louisiana oil tycoon Gustav Polk shows up dead and she's the only officer qualified to work the case, she's thrust back into the limelight of a media whirlwind - charges against the church, mysterious religious relics, and a grisly homicide.

Under the stress of a job she doesn't want to do anymore, and balancing her boss, her ex, and the intriguing detective from New Orleans PD, can she solve the mystery and uncover a secret hundreds of years old?
